Second-hand update

The word through the e-grapevine is that at least one retailer has been advised that the matter between HTA and Rowan is settled, but none of the known parties involved has posted any update or press release, and it hasn’t been picked up by the media that reported the lawsuit in the first place.

This may have been premature. I made an inquiry of HTTL, and while they (rightfully) didn’t say anything about the status of the lawsuit, the response I received certainly did not sound like there was a settlement. The response did suggest, however, HTTL had never itself referred to its yarn product as “Harris Tweed,” but that it was erroneously called by that name by online retailers.
